QM2 Capetown to Fremantle

[Sailnsurf]

I am thinking of booking Cunard for the first time and would welcome information from anyone who has sailed this leg. One concern is that February (when depart Capetown) is cyclone season for the south west Indian Ocean coveringMadagascar/Reunion/Mauritious. But I would welcome any information about the whole experience.

Covered them all in that season a number of times and never experienced any weather problems.

Thank you so much Solent Richard for your reply and incredibly interesting and detailed links to your reviews of Capetown,Fremantle and Perth. This should be enough to give my wife, who is motion sensitive ( but has managed well on cruises though regions where adverse conditions could be experienced if you are unlucky) the confidence to make this trip.We plan to have an extended holiday in South Africa and then cruise back to Perth where we live.
